Reykjavik Observations Day 2
Iceland . Reykjavik . Thoughts . TravelOh, look, yet another post where I attempt to describe my surroundings and observations in vague, yet informative ways without photos. Hmmm, where to start. Well, today I ventured out the the touristy attraction of Blue Lagoon. It was interesting. I had never been to a spa before, so I didn’t know what to expect,

Reykjavik: An Overall Observation Day 1
Iceland . Reykjavik . Thoughts . TravelIt’s difficult to write a blog post about your travels when you’re presently lacking a way to include photos, so I’ll just do my general thought on the Reykjavik area until I can write up a proper picture-loaded entry.
